CATS ON THE MENU ... IN BARCELONA!

It was Four Cats for dinner last night in Barcelona ... and boy was I hungry. Just to clarify, the name of the restaurant I went to was called 4Gats, which means the Four Cats in Catalan Spanish, and it's something of an institution. It opened in 1897 as a comfortable, local bistro and immediately began attracting local artists who hung out there every day. Foremost among them was a 17-year-old Pablo Picasso who held his first exhibition in the backroom and designed the restaurant's menu (pictured below). As for the food, it was whisker-lickin' good ...!
